14 Feb The Olympics and Entrepreneurship
In honor of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, we thought we’d share a blog post about Olympic Silver and Gold Medalist, Derek Parra, who won both medals in the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
Not only is Parra and Olympic medalist, but he is also at the top of the list of Utah 100 (for the second year in a row), which is a list of the top 100 fastest growing companies in Utah, as ranked by MountainWest Capital Network (MWCN).
Forbes‘ article “Gold Medalist Compares Entrepreneurship to Training for the Olympics” chronicles Parra’s struggles and work ethic in business and entrepreneurship and how he overcame adversity to become a true American success story.
